Which Top 3 Arsenal Picks to Pick v Wolverhampton? FPL Squad of the Gameweek

One major decision in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the week involves select no Manchester City players - and yes, that includes Haaland!

Our funds is needed to load up on Arsenal assets as they host one of the worst sides in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored a total of five goals on their last away trip, but now they take on Crystal Palace, who have the second-best defence in the league for goals allowed and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And Arsenal home to Wolves is the sort of match-up you just have to exploit - the leading team in the league against one lacking of momentum, quality and confidence.

The lineup of the week is chosen based on current FPL valuations to stay under a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

How did Last Week's Team Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (14), Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), along with a lucky 16-point Dewsbury-Hall substitute cameo led to a huge 83 points. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Gameweek for Fixture 16

Goalkeeper & Defenders

Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (h)

This long-awaited Tyne-Wear derby in the top flight for eight years is likely to be loud, fiery, feisty - and it might be one of those matches that is all drama but minimal clear chances.

Which would make the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a decent shout.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolves (home)

An Arsenal defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have just one goal on the road so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

White is a fantastic offensive threat when he gets his opportunity. He started the past two at full-back, had a fourteen-point return against Brentford and leads the way in that period among Gunners defenders with 2 key passes, two shots in the box and an xGI of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - Everton (home)

Everton are inconsistent so this selection is more about the Blues'defensive solidity and the Spaniard's potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has created more chances (19) than any defender in the division.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times last season.

Diogo Dalot, United, £4.4m - the Cherries (home)

You can't have great expectations for a Manchester United clean sheet - they have one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthscoring have slowed down in the past two games.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been getting in some incredibly advanced roles as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four shots, two big chances, a goal and one assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolverhampton on Monday too.

Midfielders

Bukayo Saka (captain), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too tempting to ignore and that renders Bukayo Saka, Arsenaltop offensive asset a must-have.

No stats needed to support this pick. Manchester United had 27 attempts at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be rubbing their hands.

Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

One point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is so reliable for the Gunners.

More attacking this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager might view this as a opportunity to rest his players.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - Bournemouth (h)

Fernandes may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, always a candidate for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (h)

This week's differential pick, Cole Palmer has his first 90 minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive fantasy player he can be.

You sense that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be rushing to sign him up.

He was absent for the Blues'European loss at the Italian side, but that was the team managing his minutes so he should be well-rested for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds (h)

Leeds enter this game following two strong home performances against the Blues and the Reds, but on the road they have conceded three times for each one they've scored.

This is likely Ouattara last match before heading to the AFCON.

He has been excellent for the Bees this season, and has five goal contributions in his past 3 home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (home)

It's been a disappointing last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two matches.

However, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the division and has seven goals in 7 home games. He is the best forward option for this round and, with a favourable fixture list, you can set and forget until the January window at the very least.

Ekitike, Liverpool, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely Arne Slot continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was great at the beginning of the campaign and you wonder what he would have done had a rival striker not been signed and challenged him for playing time at the number nine role.
